ROSAette - collaboration between traditional vocal group ROSA and Renata Skobo - choreographer and performer.

Combining contemporary movement and traditional Balkan sound, this piece represents the clash of epochs with a common thread that connects them - the captivity from once visible, and now invisible intruder. 
Music of this piece is an antiphonal song Cubro Maro, traditionally sung by women whose lyrics date back to the time when Serbs were enslaved by the Ottomans. The words depict the tragic death of a father-in-law who was on his way to give a blessing to his future daughter-in-law. 
The concept of movement is based on the feeling of being “stuck” and “in between” - in physical spaces, our bodies and our minds. Are these feelings familiar or was the moment of quarantine a complete new experience for most of us? How do we separate physical and mental “stuckness” or are these feelings always interconnected? How are our bodies experiencing these moments of restriction, of solitude, of transformation? These uncertain times, by being very challenging on a global scale, are also very intimate and personal. 
Diving deep into the core of ourselves while rediscovering our roots, is where the creation of ROSAette begun.
